"My songs primarily revolve around philosophical idealogies fictionalized into a story form, then put to music - they are very lyrically driven, usually starting with a basic life, social or economic philosophy that I want to address turned into a story line. My songs start from these story lines, so the structures, melodies and music tend to be very different than most prog-metal and are pretty long. The songs tend to combine traditional prog-metal with a lot of atonality combined with more familiar traditional music (anything from electronica to symphonic to swing) all interwined into a unstructured frantic mix while retaining melody. The lyrics are an essential element of the songs, so follow along with them by clicking on the song titles below! And a BIG thanks to everyone who has downloaded and enjoyed my music to date and have put most of my songs in the Progressive Metal Top 10 at various times.

I just recently added new progressive rock / metal songs called "Nu-Plateau" (February 2003), "Drained" (February 2003), "The Id Kids" (July, 2002), "Presto Manifesto" (November 2001), "Oxygen" (October, 2001), "Water" (August, 2001) and "Staging (A Hippocratic Internal Disorder)" (March, 2001).

I hope you enjoy them!!"

	(12:34) Recently #1 on the Prog metal charts. 12+ minutes of very unstructured energetic progressive electronica metal. This one is about the unending futile inane life-long attempt to give our lives meaning amidst brainwashing childhood influences / preprocessed judgements under cover of current societal trends and fashions of the day. Set in London, there's two stories here that meet for a brief life-defining moment at the end, if you care to follow along.

	(5:38) Recently #1 on the Prog Metal charts. Straight ahead prog rock. Concerns the fact the economic and political structures in the world are based on 2000 year old ideas patched to accomodate current technology. We need new systems substructures. I have many ideas, but I'm WAY too lazy to do anything about it. Thus, the song.....

	(8:14) Recently #3 on the Progresive Metal Charts. This one's about the post-evolutionary trait of simultaneous attraction / repulsions to people completely similar to ourselves and the things we truly strive for in relationships. The actual story is a near-future love triangle between a woman, her clone and their created bio-mechanical anti-clone, and their ultimate combination.....

	(5:07) A mid-paced, more straight forward prog-rock song concerning the fact that, although contrary to what we may say, most our our actions are not about personal fulfillment nor self-sustained altruism but rather simply to tell a story to attained glorification from others. The story involves a man who has done ridicuolusly chancy things throughout his life even though he enjoys none of it and keeps upping the stakes through dangerous jobs in journalism, in conjuctions with secret government assignments, who ultimately pays for his idiotic self-gratifying actions.

	(9:57) Recently #19 on the Prog Metal Charts. Ten minute long progressive metal / electronica. Numerous time and tempo changes, but still a little more structured than some of my other songs. Concerns the absurdity, belittlement, insecurity, boredom and magic of rediscoved love.

	(36:34 with Part 2) Recently #2 on the Prog Metal Charts. This is actually the first half of a 37 minute song whose full name is "Staging (A Hippocratic Internal Disorder)". I had to break it into 2 parts due to the MP3.com 20 MB upload limitation. Please download PART 2 as well right below and paste them together in an audio editor for the full song. This song is an extremely unstructured, epic, relentless high energy orchestrated progressive rock / metal. By far the best song I've done to date, though I realize it's demanding to listen to. A duality story of the boredom of a long term breakup and the created adventure story within a mind to compensate..

	(36:34 with Part 1) This is PART 2 of a song entitled "Staging (A Hippocratic Internal Disorder)". Please download PART 1 directly above and paste the parts together in an audio editor to get the full song. I cut each part abruptly (no fades in or out) such that it can seemlessly be pasted together in an audio editor. See Part 1 for song description. If you downloaded PART 1, you should also download PART 2 since it's all part of the SAME SONG!
